This disclosure describes a number of devices or techniques that can be capable of obtaining an operational capacity for a shared image device; estimating at least one operational resource to perform a transformation of one or more images based at least in part on the obtaining the operational capacity; and sharing the one or more images with at least one other shared image device in a manner that performs the transformation of the one or more images.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
1. A shared image device, comprising: a device energy estimator configurable to estimate an energy value for the shared image device; a resolution conversion energy indicator configurable to indicate whether the shared image device has a sufficient energy to convert a resolution of at least one image at least partially relative to the energy level for the shared image device; a sharing mechanism that is configurable to at least partially share the at least one image with at least another shared image device, wherein the sharing mechanism is configurable to convert the resolution of the at least one image; the resolution conversion energy indicator configurable to determine that the shared image device does not have the sufficient energy to convert the resolution of the at least one image; and the shared image device configurable to communicate to a second device to convert the resolution of the at least one image in response to determining that the shared image device does not have the sufficient energy to convert the resolution of the at least one image.
2. The shared image device of claim 1 , wherein the sharing mechanism that is configurable to at least partially share the at least one image with at least another shared image device comprises: the sharing mechanism configurable to transmit the at least one image to at least one other shared image device.
3. The shared image device of claim 1 , wherein the sharing mechanism that is configurable to at least partially share the at least one image with at least another shared image device comprises: the sharing mechanism configurable to receive the at least one image from at least one other shared image device.
4. The shared image device of claim 1 , wherein the shared image device further comprises: the resolution conversion energy indicator configurable to determine that the shared image device does have the sufficient energy to convert the resolution of the at least one image; and the shared image device configurable to convert the resolution of the at least one image.
5. The shared image device of claim 1 , wherein the shared image device further comprises: the resolution conversion energy indicator configurable to determine that the shared image device does not have the sufficient energy to convert the resolution of the at least one image; and the shared image device configurable to transfer the at least one image to a second device in response to determining that the shared image device does not have the sufficient energy to convert the resolution of the at least one image.
6. The shared image device of claim 1 , wherein the shared image device further comprises: the resolution conversion energy indicator configurable to determine that the shared image device does not have the sufficient energy to convert the resolution of the at least one image; and the shared image device configurable to cancel attempts to convert the resolution of the at least one image based at least in part on the resolution conversion energy indicator determining that the shared image device does not have the sufficient energy to convert the resolution of the at least one image.
7. The shared image device of claim 1 , wherein the resolution conversion energy indicator configurable to indicate whether the shared image device has a sufficient energy to convert a resolution of at least one image comprises: the resolution conversion energy indicator configurable to indicate whether the shared image device has the sufficient energy to convert the resolution to a higher resolution.
